Answer: 13

Explanation:

The formula for finding distance between two points is given by :

D =
$\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^(2)+(y_(2)-y_(1))^(2)}$

x_(1) = -4

x_(2) = 1

y_(1) = 9

y_(2) = -3

Substituting the values into the formula , we have :

D =
$\sqrt{(1 -(-4))^(2) +(-3-9)^(2)}$

D =
$\sqrt{(5)^(2)+(-12)^(2)}$

D =
√(25+144)

D =
√(169)

D = 13

Therefore : the distance between the points is 13
